MARSHFIELD - One person was hospitalized Friday afternoon after a crash at a troublesome Marshfield intersection.

The wreck happened shortly before 3 p.m. at the corner of East Blodgett Street and North Ash Avenue where a sport utility vehicle traveling south on Ash struck a car that was westbound on Blodgett, according to Marshfield Police Officer Cory Christian. The car spun and stopped in the street, while the SUV hit a tree in a yard.

The driver of the car complained of dizziness and was taken to Ministry St. Joseph’s Hospital by ambulance.

No tickets were issued at the scene, but police were still investigating the cause Friday afternoon and believe the driver of the SUV failed to obey a yield sign.

The intersection has been the scene of multiple other car accidents within the last five years, neighbors said.

“The yield sign doesn’t mean nothing,” said Bob Scheer, who has lived on Ash Avenue near the intersection of the accident for more than 50 years. “It’s like a speedway.”

The scene was cleared around 3:30 p.m.
